Hi guys this is my first time making roasted pumpkin seeds and I was just wondering what the best method is to safely store them and how long they can be kept. If it makes any difference I did take them directly out of the pumpkin, didn't buy them at the store.

I have only ever used the stainless steel variety. Tried a plastic version once but it didn't keep up, I felt like I was going to break it (although to be fair it was not an expensive item, if you catch my drift...) I too have lost some fingernails and a few chunks of fingertip. Luckly I was...

I'm sorry that I have no advice to offer, only a question of my own. I love the blade design of the santoku knives. You can slice and dice more quickly without having half a potato suctioned to your knife. I'm sure there is a technical term for this design, but I call them air pockets :)...

I will say this much, it was thought up by a head chef and the poor underling in charge of that station probably groans everytime he has to stop what he is doing to make it :) But it is a very beautiful and ingenious design. Amazing what you can creat with common ingredients

WOW! I swear I had no idea he was married! LOL Thanks for the advice guys. The main problem is that while I like many different foods, I don't eat very much. I'm the adult that orders off the kid's menu because those are the only portions small enough. so when I cook for two, I'm counting on...

I wouldn't say it makes me angry, but I find it strange that mexican dishes get loaded up with cilantro, an herb that originated in Asia. I really dislike cilantro, but I love mexican food, so it bothers me that "authentic" mexican food has to be drowned in cilantro :(

I live with a picky eater. The problem is he's an adult, not a child, so I can't force him to eat his vegetables. I enjoy cooking with a variety of ingredients, including ethnic foods and fresh produce, but he is a midwest boy and only wants meat and potatoes... I want to eat healthy and...
